A few weeks back, I was asked to once again review Printcopia. Printcopia let’s you make prints, canvases, framed photos & acrylic prints of your photos. Last time, I got an 8x10 canvas. This time around, I got to get a 16x20 canvas. After a few days of debate, I decided to get one of my photos from Rockport printed. I went with one of a pelican sitting on a fishing boat. As like the last time, it only took a few minutes to upload and adjust the picture how I wanted it. I forwent the extra editing since this particular shoot didn’t need it. I received the print within a week. I came out great. They did any excellent job wrapping the canvas and the print itself looks wonderful. Its very attention getting and I’ve gotten lots of comments on it. Overall, Printcopia is still a great place to go to get prints of any kind. The prices are reasonable and the shipping is super quick. Prices will vary depending on what you are getting. The canvas print I ordered was $113 ...

Peelstar Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
I was recently asked to try out PeelStar. PeelStar lets you create custom decals and magnets of your children’s sports jerseys. The decals can be placed in school lockers or bedrooms, & the magnets can go on cars or anything else metal. My daughter is still a little young to play sports yet, but she is a huge football fan. We are proud members of the Raven’s Nation, so I decided to make her a purple jersey with her name one it. The site takes you right into the creator app and you can choose between several different sports (football, baseball, soccer, ect...). You are able to select colors, fonts, and add custom text. I used the general color scheme of the team, but tried to make it look different so as not to infringe on copyright. The jersey itself is purple with black around the sleeves and collar. The lettering (her name) and number (1) are white. You also get a big strip at the bottom with the team name, so I put ‘Ravens’ I white text with a black outline. I got it ...
Product Review – LoopRope
A while back, was sent a LoopRope. LoopRope is a large loped bungee cord with lops fastened in it, which allows for easy hanging or fastening. Each LoopRope comes with two double-ended, stainless steel carabineers. The LoopRope I received was 5 feet. We usually don’t have much need of any type of bungee cord unless we are getting unless we are going out of town or getting something bulky that needs to go in the back of my husband’s truck. I ended up taking it with us on vacation since we were taking two kayaks and several fishing rods. We used it for the fishing rods. We were able to run the ends of the rods through the loops and they were held securely without being bunched up altogether. Since then, we’ve used it to hold up a few sheets of plywood in the shed. What I like best about the LoopRope is that so far it hasn’t gotten stretched out. Regular bungee cords always seem to lose their elasticity after a few uses and end up not being very stretchy at all. The LoopRope has ...
Product Review – Personal Creations
A few weeks ago, I got to try out Personal Creations. Personal Creations is part of the Red Envelops family of sites, and has hundreds of items that you can personalize with names and messages. They make great gifts that your loved ones are sure to enjoy. I went ahead and checked out the Mother’s Day section since my mom’s birthday was this month. I had already gotten a present for her, but wanted my daughter to look at the site to see if she could pick something out. She quickly saw the Garden FairyStakes and said that she wanted that one. We personalized it with ‘Love You Grandma’, like the one shown on the page. I also picked out an extra gift for my husband, the Summer Love Tree Print with our names & anniversary on it, and found a very neat retro diner sign to put up in my kitchen. The site was very easy to navigate and it was very easy to enter in the personalization info. The shipping is also good since its one price for everything; flat-rate shipping starting ...
Product Review – ProFlowers
I was recently invited to try out ProFlowers, a sister site to Shari’s Berries (which I reviewed last month). As the name implies, ProFlowers sends out a huge selection of plants & flowers…as well as many of the delicious items found on Shari’s Berries. The layout of the site is pretty much the same as Shari’s Berries, so it is very easy to navigate. You can search the site or go through the various tabs. I started my search with the Valentines Gifts for Him section and found both of my items quickly. I ordered the Charmed in Love Bamboo and the White& Chocolate Mousse Cake. Checkout was a breeze and I was able to pay via PayPal. I also took advantage of the free shipping offer from FreeShipping.com. (If you are not a member, you can also get coupons good for ProFlowers here: http://www.proflowers.com/coupon-codes.aspx.) I set up the shipping so that I would receive both items the day before Valentines (13th). I was surprised with a note in my email on the 11th ...
NOVICA Gift Finder Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
A few days ago, I was asked to try out NOVICA’s new Gift Finder. I reviewed NOVICA earlier this year and found it to be a wonderful site where you can get all sorts of unique items and gifts. The Gift Finder basically breakers down everything on the site into categories to help you quickly find what you are looking for. For example, if you want something inexpensive, you just click on ‘Under $20’. There are dozens of sections to choose from, including ‘Gifts for Him’, ‘Jewelry’, & ‘Suggestions’. I wasn’t too sure what I was looking for, so I searched around in the ‘Under $20’ & ‘Gifts for Him’. Within ten minutes, I found a great gift for a good friend of mine and a neat gift for my husband. As always, check out was quick and easy, & I was able to pay with PayPal. Overall, the Gift Finder is a great addition to an already exceptional site. It cuts your shopping time in half & really has a great selection of times. You can try the Gift Finder out for yourself ...
